Binding Done!

My goal yesterday was to finish the binding on the QOV quilt so I can wash it today. It took me more time to hand finish the binding than it took to load it on the machine, quilt it and sew the binding on. I have a hard time sitting still that long.

You can get a better look here at the nice fabrics that Beverly used to piece the top.

The quilt is gorgeous, i would really like to make one of those disappering nine patches one day!!Might be a while before i do though!! Fabulous quilting! I also sew my bindings down by hand, it's one way to keep warm!!

I find hand sewing binding relaxing and always do it when I sit to watch tv in the evening, a couple of evenings or maybe 3 or 4 :) depending on the size and it is done.Karenhttp://karensquilting.com/blog/

I 'feel your pain' with the binding. I usually farm out the handwork on my bindings - I like to cultivate friends who LOOoove to do that sort of thing! - so doing one on my own once a year or so is a real eye-opener.

great job! I love hand binding on quilts. it is time to get acquainted with the quilt at a different level and means it is almost done! I like to relax with handwork at the end of a busy day. also washes away all the stresses of my day to start anew.great job! great quilting! someone is sure to feel the warmth and love.

And MY thoughts? #1 - This gal is older than I, and how DOES she get so much accomplished?!?!? #2 - Laughter at reading that you can't sit down for long! That's what my husband tells people about me. I thought it was NORMAL to hop up & down out of my recliner. Just this past weekend our 10-year-old granddaughter overheard me telling another family member about a movie we had watched, and she chimed in, "You mean you sat in your chair for a WHOLE MOVIE?!?!?!"
